WalkthroughThe playlist-loading branch now defers the state update when a previously off device loads a playlist with brightness above zero. The existing call-mode selection remains unchanged. ChangesPlaylist startup state handling

Defer the caller-side stateUpdated() call.
Clearing stateChanged suppresses only the local call at line 571. handlePresets() in wled00/presets.cpp calls stateUpdated(tmpMode) unconditionally after deserializeState(). The physical-button and asynchronous preset path can still update the LEDs before the first playlist entry starts.
Return or persist an explicit defer signal from deserializeState(), and make handlePresets() skip its immediate stateUpdated() call when that signal is set.

@DedeHai, the issue occurs when WLED loads a playlist preset asynchronously from an off state.
Example sequence:
- The controller is off (
bri == 0). - A physical-button macro, the app, or the web UI selects preset
N. applyPreset()queues presetNforhandlePresets().- On the next main-loop pass,
handlePlaylist()runs beforehandlePresets(). handlePresets()loads presetN. The preset containsplaylistand restores brightness above zero.deserializeState()reaches Line 546 and setsstateChanged = false.handlePresets()then still callsstateUpdated(tmpMode)unconditionally atwled00/presets.cppLine 213.- The first playlist entry cannot run until the following main-loop pass.
Therefore, the unconditional stateUpdated() can apply the restored brightness and render the old segment state for one update before the first playlist entry replaces it. This is the LED flash that the new condition is intended to prevent.
The direct JSON API path does not have this specific extra call. It relies on deserializeState() at wled00/json.cpp Line 571, which the new stateChanged = false does suppress. The affected path is the queued preset path used by button macros and normal preset selection.

fixes #5200
when starting a playlist from off, the LED's are turned on with the "old state" because stateUpdated() is called async. This fix defers the call. Yet another workaround that is probably unnecessary once the sync fix from @willmmiles is in place.
